Answer / krishnam

If the MP or MV is not defined then infa server will take
the default values. The order is: First it will serch in
Parameter file for the values, then repository( in case of
MV), if the value is not found then it will look for
initial value. If it can not find the value it will take
default values.

Answer / reddevilzz

For mapping parameters, there cud be a scenario as below
Lets say I have a sql override as ,
Select emp_no, emp_name from emp where $$Hint1
In parameter file, I have $$Hint1 = dept_id in (1,2)
if $$Hint = <empty>, in parameter file, in this case the
mapping will fail because, SQ would not be able to prepare
the query,

In another scenario, i can have SQ override as
Select emp_no, emp_name from emp $$Hint1
In parameter file, I have $$Hint1 = where dept_id in (1,2)
if $$Hint = <empty>, in parameter file,
still the mapping will be executed.

It's does not impact on any thing if you dont use .
If we require then we will go for mapping parameters and
variable.If suppose,we use Mapping Parameters or varaibles
then we must define at mapping level and we should give
parameter file name and path at session level other wise
session will fail.

Answer / karthiga

If mapping parameter and variable is used in the mapping
but nowhere defined or given, then session will fail.

we can define the Mapping parameter and variable using:
mappings>parameters and variables>declare parameters and
variables.
we will specify the value directly in default value or else
specify it in the parameter file.

Usually, we will specify in parameter file.
